Katrina Bowden Is Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive (Photos & Video)

Katrina Bowden, the best part of 30 Rock for me, has officially been voted this years Sexiest Woman Alive according to the readers of Esquire Magazine and I am in total agreement.

Katrina also took part of a photoshoot for Esquire and MeInMyPlace.com which is shot by an anonymous photographer who shoots “real women, in their real homes, in their real clothes, at their invitation.” Here is part of her interview:

On winning: “Came out of nowhere. I know that Esquire does their Sexiest Woman Alive every year, but I didn’t know that there was this online bracket as well. I don’t even know what Butler is.”

On her competition: “I was up against Kim Kardashian. And then — let’s put it this way: If you say my name and then say Megan Fox’s name, most people know who she is but, well, a small percent will know who I am. I think a lot of the fans of 30 Rock kind of went crazy with it.”

On starting of modeling: “I started modeling when I was about fourteen, so I would come in to the city for shoots after school like three times a week. I went to an all-girls school, in that environment where everyone’s really catty and competitive. I didn’t let any of that get to me.”

On acting: “It was a release, acting — my favorite part of the week. I started doing more TV commercials and Law & Order, and I was on a soap opera for a while, and I just… I liked playing a part. I liked getting in front of a camera and doing things other than taking photos.”

On first starting at 30 Rock: “I found out I was playing Cerie on Friday, and started on Monday. I was so scared that I got kind of lost getting there. So I walk in the room late, out of breath, and everyone’s just sitting down at the table staring at me. Then Tracy Morgan gets up and says, ‘Don’t just stand there lookin’ beautiful – sit down right next to me!’”

She also says that yes, she did indeed vote for herself. A woman who isn’t afraid to say she voted for herself in one of these lists is a woman I like. Enjoy the photos and video, most of them are after the jump below.
